Question Quick question about tires?

I recently bought 2 stück neu vordere (front) reifen Conti sportcontact 3 225 40 ZR18 Y300KM/H tires.

Now I'm going to buy the hinten (rear) reifen.
I currently use 255/35/R18 tires.
I wonder if I can stretch to 265/35/R18 rear tires?
Am I going to get any rubbing issues with 265 wide tires?
My rear Brabus Monoblock V rims have ET35 and are 9,5 wide.
Thanx

I am running 265 with an ET of 35 and 9.5" wide with NO rubbing but issues with rubbing can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer even if you are using the same size...

I might stick with 255 wide tires to avoid eventual problems?
